An Unforgettable Experience With Peru Summit Adventures
“I just returned from an 10-day trip to Peru with my wife and three adult kids, all through Peru Summit Adventures. When I started planning the trip 16 months ago, I looked at several tour companies, ultimately deciding that I wanted to support a local family-owned business rather than a larger international company. Founder/owner Carlos […]”

Highly recommend!!
“We booked a day trip to Machu Picchu. Although once here we realised we could have pieced it altogether ourselves, it was so worth booking ahead for peace of mind. Everything was so efficiently sorted by Carlos. Hotel pick up ( bang on time – and hotel recommended for shortest walk) , arrival at coach […]”

William was the BEST tour guide ever!
“William with Peru Summit Adventures made our Peru trip unforgettable! We did a customized tour of various attractions around Cusco (Maras salt mines, Moray circular terraces, Ollantaytambo Inca site, etc.) and William was the BEST guide through it all. He was unbelievably knowledgeable about every site and so friendly — we felt so comfortable around […]”

The best of the sacred valley private tour
“This private tour of the Sacred Valley was definitely worthwhile! Our guide Wally and our driver Juan were kind, knowledgeable, attentive and very fun. We got to see all the best sites in the sacred valley and even had some bonus facts/stops, like eating the best empanadas in Pisac! The tour is adjustable based on […]”

10 of 5 Stars!!!
“This is going to be a long review, because Peru Summit Adventures deserves it. After speaking with several large international tour companies, we ultimately decided to work with a local Peru-based company, Peru Summit Adventures—and it was one of the best decisions we made for this trip. From our very first conversations, Carlos spent a […]”

意外但难忘的秘鲁之旅An Unexpected but Unforgettable Peru trip
“这次秘鲁之旅真的多亏了 Peru Summit Adventures。不巧我太太在行程中受了伤，原定的多日徒步只能取消。当时我们挺沮丧的，但老板 Carlos 和团队反应非常快，不仅一直在鼓励我们，还迅速帮我们改了轻松的替代行程。Carlos 甚至特地跑来酒店看望我太太，让我们非常感动。在他们的周到照顾下，我们最终顺利登上了马丘比丘，圆了心愿！如果去秘鲁，找他们绝对靠谱。再次谢谢 Carlos 和团队！ I cannot thank Peru Summit Adventures enough. My wife unfortunately injured her foot, so we had to cancel our multi-day trek. We were pretty stressed, but Carlos (the owner) and his team were so quick to help. They came up with an alternative plan right away, […]”

Additional Information
Do I need to bring my photography equipment?
You do indeed need to bring your own equipment, you will soon find that choices in photography equipment are very much based on personal preference, and there is no way we could accommodate everyone’s tastes.
You can bring more than just basic cameras if you choose, but keep in mind you have to be able to carry the gear in your day pack during the day hikes and it has to fit safely inside a duffel bag. You should at the very least bring a waterproof bag to carry your camera in – Multiday treks tend to drizzle at high altitudes close by to the glaciers. If you have any questions at all about whether your equipment is appropriate for one of our trips, please call us at +51 98 4464 391 or send us a note via our contact page also via WhatsApp and we will be happy to assist you get sorted out.
